Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 578 Who are "you"?
Evening, Lanshan Valley Villa Area.

"Jueyue Club" is a business club located in a villa area, situated in a prime location with stunning views of mountains and water.

Xu Chen had driven by before, but hadn't really looked at it closely.

After parking the car, Xu Zhiquan asked Li Rui, Zhao Feng, and the others to wait outside.

Li Rui was a little worried about the situation inside and wanted to go in with them.

Old Xu thought for a moment and then waved his hand:

"Just stay outside and listen for any noises."

Li Rui: "Okay! Message me if you need anything."

No matter what the message is, we'll rush in.

Xu Zhiquan chuckled: "It won't be that serious."

……

The father and son walked inside one after the other.

In the large water feature fountain, there are twelve white marble "angel" sculptures.

Walking along the path past the water feature, you arrive at the main entrance of the clubhouse, which features a black and gold color scheme.

The amber-colored glass door opened automatically, revealing an interior layout reminiscent of a European art gallery.

"Welcome, Mr. Xu!"

A man and a woman came out to greet them.

The man was wearing a white suit, was not very tall, and looked to be under forty years old.

His skin was slightly dark, he wore a pair of tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses, and he had a distinct scent of cologne.

He took the initiative to greet Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen, and it turned out that he was Chen Boxin from "PanShi Capital".

When Chen Boxin speaks, you can still hear his typical Jiangzhe accent, with distinctive voiced consonants appearing at the end of his sentences.

"This is Vivian, Frank's personal secretary," Chen Boxin introduced her.

The woman behind him then politely stepped forward.

She was wearing a slightly formal dark-colored short skirt suit, and her long hair was tied up. She looked gentle and intellectual, and her eyes curved when she smiled.

"Hello, Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu. You can both just call me Vivian!"

Chen Boxin then smiled and spoke again:
"Our boss, Frank, specifically chose this place for the meeting."

Knowing that Mr. Xu lives here, it will be more convenient for you to come over.

Also, this is Mr. Xu's home turf, and it's also to put your mind at ease and help you relax.

Xu Zhiquan smiled kindly and simply said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Boxin: "Let's go inside and wait a moment. Frank is playing basketball and will be here soon."

……

Chen Boxin led the way, passing through the clubhouse lobby and private rooms, and then through the water-landscaped backyard, until they arrived at an office area.

Upon entering an extremely spacious and luxurious "office and meeting room," Chen Boxin began:

"This is also Frank's office."

Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.

Chen Boxin: "It's quite a coincidence that our Frank is Mr. Xu's neighbor, and he also happens to have a house in this 'Lanshan Valley'."

Last year, when the clubhouse was put up for tender, Frank secured the deal.

So this area is also one of Frank's properties.

Xu Zhiquan inwardly gasped, but remained calm and smiled as he said:

"I didn't expect to be Frank's neighbor. We must have bumped into each other in the yard before."

Secretary Vivian: "Our boss Frank spends most of his time in the provincial capital and Beijing, and rarely comes back. He probably hasn't met with President Xu."

Chen Boxin chuckled and gestured for people to sit on the two large, dark brown sofas.

Secretary Vivian pushed in a small cart loaded with various expensive wines, cigarettes, and cigars.

Then they asked, "What do Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu need?"

Just then, a burst of laughter came from behind.

"Welcome, Mr. Xu!"

Chen Boxin, who had been sitting, quickly stood up and said to Xu Zhiquan with a smile:
"This is our CEO, Frank."

Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen then got up.

And "Frank" had already approached.

Xu Zhiquan was still surprised; he hadn't expected this "big boss" to be so young.

He looked to be in his early thirties, a few years younger than Chen Boxin.

He was wearing a light blue long-sleeved polo shirt for playing golf, crisp white trousers, and a white golf glove in his left hand.

He was tall and slender, with fair skin, a high nose bridge, single eyelids, and a friendly, sunny smile on his face.

When Xu Chen saw Frank's face, he felt a strange sensation for some reason.

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before...

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xu and Mr. Xu's son!"
Just call me Frank!

He was warm and friendly, extending his right hand to shake hands with Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen respectively.

Secretary Vivian came over and took the gloves from Frank's hands.

Frank gestured for the others to sit down, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Xu and I are neighbors! It's all just a coincidence."

Mr. Xu's mansion is in Xiyuan, right?

My little house is in Beiyuan...

I was in Tiancheng and happened to be short of an office, so I booked this place.

Making money from the club was secondary; the main thing was having a place to discuss business, so it was like setting up a base on the side.

"It will be much easier to do business with Mr. Xu in the future..."

Frank continued talking to himself, appearing enthusiastic and talkative.

He suddenly got up and walked towards the large cabinet on the other side:
"Knowing that Mr. Xu enjoys strong-flavored baijiu, I happened to have a bottle of this good stuff here, which I'll give as a small gift to Mr. Xu when we first meet!"

When he returned, he was carrying a dark red wine box.

Xu Zhiquan glanced at it and laughed heartily twice:

"Frank really does have some good stuff."

I've been really looking forward to this bottle of 'Sealed Collection No. 1' for a long time.

Old Xu immediately recognized it as a bottle of "Guojiao 1573 Sealed Collection No. 1" custom-made liquor.

The current market price is a whopping 128,800. It's a limited edition, so even with money, you might not be able to get your hands on one.

Frank smiled happily and placed the wine on the table:
"It just so happens that I don't know anything about baijiu, so it would be a waste to leave it here."

"If it can be accepted by President Xu, then it wouldn't be a waste."

Xu Zhiquan reached out and patted the wine box, saying heartily:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Frank!"

Frank had a friendly smile on his face.

He crossed his legs and raised his right hand.

Vivian, the secretary behind him, had already handed him a cigar.

This somewhat flamboyant behavior left Xu Chen speechless.

Frank lit his cigar, took a few puffs, and then deliberately remained silent for a moment.

Xu Zhiquan didn't speak either, but instead lowered his head and played with the bottle of "Sealed Collection No. 1".

No one spoke, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.

Chen Boxin glanced at Frank, who seemed a little intimidated, and offered a few awkward laughs.

Frank raised his hand, and Vivian behind him took the cigar. Only then did he speak:
"It really surprised me that President Xu could repay two billion."

But it doesn't matter.

Even with us around, your 'Chenfeng' still can't start construction or raise funds..."

Xu Chen gasped.

Just moments ago he was all smiles, but now his words are sharp and confrontational.

Xu Zhiquan paused, catching the word "we" in Frank's words.

He spoke softly: "You?"

Frank then flashed a very sunny smile:
It is 'we'.

We set our sights on 'Chenfeng Technology', just like we set our sights on 'Guangming Factory' back then.

I imagine that someone as intelligent as Mr. Xu should have known this long ago.

Xu Zhiquan: "You guys really have a lot of patience, taking two years in between."

Frank didn't answer immediately, but raised his hand again.

Vivian, who was behind him, understood immediately. She grabbed a glass, put in two ice cubes, opened a bottle of brandy, poured in a little less than half a glass, and carefully handed it to Frank.

He swirled his wine glass, took two sips, and then spoke again:
“We had our eye on the ‘Guangming Factory’ back then, but we never expected you and your son to jump out and snatch the fruit away.”

However, two years ago, it was only a temporary arrangement for you.

We've been waiting all this time for Mr. Xu to plant the tree of 'Chenfeng Technology'.

"Now that it's flourishing and about to bear fruit, it's time for us to harvest it." Xu Zhiquan: "Frank is certainly direct and unpretentious."

Frank chuckled twice, appearing extremely confident.

He took two more sips of wine and then spoke again:

"It really surprised me that Mr. Xu was able to repay the 19 billion yuan in March."

I was originally supposed to secure 'Morning Breeze' in March, but now it'll take more effort.

He paused, swirled his wine glass, and then smiled, saying:
"but……

Is it possible that I deliberately waited for you to pay back that 19 billion?

Xu Zhiquan frowned but did not reply.

Frank:

"The 19 billion yuan didn't just appear out of thin air; it must have been borrowed by President Xu."

Debts don't disappear into thin air. Once they've been repaid to banks, financial institutions, and suppliers, new creditors will inevitably emerge.

So, Mr. Xu still owes 19 billion yuan, right?

Xu Zhiquan remained expressionless, but Xu Chen couldn't help but frown.

This 19 billion is naturally Bing Ge's debt...

Frank's smile on his fair face looked very sunny:

"If I'm not mistaken, this 19 billion debt has also changed from 'corporate debt' to Mr. Xu's 'personal debt'."

If a company goes bankrupt, some debts may not be traced or pursued.

However, personal debts can be pursued indefinitely.

Xu Zhiquan narrowed his eyes:

"So, what exactly does Frank want to talk about?"

Frank: "President Xu is indeed wise and courageous, remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapses before him."

He put down his wine glass, leaned closer, and whispered:

"Mr. Xu's 19 billion will eventually have to be repaid."

You can only wait to restart operations and then use the company again to raise funds.

But do you believe it or not?
I have enough means to keep you from starting work.

He leaned back and sat up, crossing his legs:
"Of course, there is another way, which is for you to accept bankruptcy liquidation."

But I also have a way to make sure you can't touch your current assets.

Even if bankruptcy liquidation is necessary, I can hold back all of 'Chenfeng Technology's' existing assets, preventing you from liquidating them to pay off debts.

Those assets, after going through all the twists and turns, are still mine to collect, and 'Chenfeng Technology' is still mine.

"It might take more money and effort on my end, but how long can Mr. Xu withstand this 19 billion debt?"

Xu Zhiquan seemed to think for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged, and he offered no comment.

Frank then spoke up:
"Our principle in doing things has never been to drive people to the brink of extinction."

Leave room for maneuver in all things, so that you may meet again in the future.

Furthermore, we are deeply grateful to Mr. Xu for helping to cultivate and build the 'Chenfeng Technology' company.

Therefore, Mr. Xu, why don't you listen to our proposal?

Xu Zhiquan didn't say a word, but took out a cigarette and lit it.

Frank:

“You currently have 19 billion in debt, I will give you 20 billion.”

The 19 billion was used to pay off debts, and the 1 million was considered your reward for building 'Chenfeng Technology' over the past two years.

The condition is that you and your son completely withdraw from 'Chenfeng Technology', leaving behind not a single share.

After he finished speaking, he took the cigar again and took two big puffs.

Xu Zhiquan exhaled a puff of white smoke and began to speak:
"How can I believe that you can definitely hold back 'Chenfeng Technology' from resuming work and raising funds?"

Frank smiled, but did not answer the question directly:
"I'll give you a week to think about it."

He raised his hand and looked at his watch:
"Make a decision and contact Chen Boxin within a week."

If you agree to the terms, the 20 billion can be transferred directly.

As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Chen Boxin again.

Chen Boxin nodded, took two stacks of documents from the small table behind him, and handed them to Xu Zhiquan:
"This is the transfer contract for 'Chenfeng Technology'. Mr. Xu can take a look at it first."

The transfer fee of two billion is also included in the contract.

Xu Zhiquan frowned, took the contract but didn't flip through it.

He took a drag of his cigarette and asked the same question again:
"How can I believe that you can definitely hold back 'Chenfeng Technology' from resuming work and raising funds?"

Frank smiled confidently again:
"Mr. Xu may not have fully understood yet, and I don't need you to believe me."

I'm here to give you a chance.

If you accept my terms within a week, we'll both be happy.

If you don't accept my terms, I'll have to spend more time and money, but I'll eventually acquire 'Chenfeng Technology'.

However, Mr. Xu will have to figure out how to handle his personal debt of 19 billion yuan himself.

Xu Zhiquan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray:

"It sounds like you're trying to trick me."

Chen Boxin: "President Xu, everything our President Frank says is 100% certain."

Xu Zhiquan smiled:

"I bet two years ago, Frank also said he wanted to take over 'Guangming Factory'?"

Back in early March, Frank must have mentioned that he would acquire 'Morning Breeze Technology', right?
It seems like nothing is 100% certain.

Chen Boxin was stunned for a moment, speechless and embarrassed.

Frank smiled again and said:
"If Mr. Xu knew who 'we' are, perhaps you would believe it a little more."

Xu Zhiquan didn't speak, waiting for the other party to continue.

Frank stood up, turned around, and walked towards the bookshelf behind him.

When he returned, he had a photo frame in his hand.

As he sat down, he began to speak:
"What if Wu Yongming never had any problems at all?"
What if Wu Yongming is one of "us"?

"..."

The photo frame was placed in front of Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen.

Upon seeing that photo, both Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen couldn't help but change their expressions.

There are three people in the photo.

Wu Yongming, Wu Feifei, and Frank in front of them.

Wu Feifei was holding a large bouquet of roses, Frank sat "intimately" beside her, while Wu Yongming stood behind her with a kind smile on his face.

Frank smiled and said:
"My marriage to Feifei was arranged a long time ago."

I only put it aside for a few years while I was abroad. When I returned to China a couple of years ago, my elders in the family decided to make it happen again.

"..."

……

Xu Zhiquan and Xu Chen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Xu Zhiquan couldn't help but whisper:
"impossible."

Frank picked up his wine glass from the table, smiled, and said again:

“To cultivate the ‘Chenfeng Technology’ tree, someone needs to fertilize and water it.”

Do you think that 'Chenfeng' received so much support, assistance, and endorsement for no reason?
Wu Yongming is the person responsible for fertilizing and watering 'Chenfeng Technology'.

Xu Zhiquan remained silent, his expression finally turning grim.

The main problem is that this information is a bit too alarming.

If this is true, it would be enough to overturn some of the long-held beliefs in Lao Xu's mind.

Xu Chen suddenly spoke up:

"It's just a photo, it seems hard to believe you."

Frank smiled and said:
"I've already said it, you don't need to believe me."

Since you asked, I just mentioned it casually.

He took a sip of the wine in his glass and then spoke:
"By the way, there's one more person among 'our' people that you and your father should be more familiar with."

Xu Chen frowned, stared at Frank's fair face, and instantly had a very bad premonition.

Frank said with a smile:

"I forgot to introduce my real name."

My surname is Fang, and my given name is Xiao.

My name is Fang Xiao, and my younger sister is Fang Jun.

As he spoke, he blinked his beautiful, single-eyelid eyes.
